Intuitive counselor Misha Izattiu's abilities as a clairvoyant were shut down as a child. Now, her life's work is focused on helping her clients find their purpose in life and reawakening their spirit.

"If you're looking for approval from others, you shut down your own creativity, your own life," she said.

Izattiu said she came into the world with her abilities to see, hear and feel spirits "fully open." She recalls speaking to spirits as a young child -- family members believed them to be imaginary friends.

Izattiu would even walk up to people she didn't know and would clue them into whatever ailment she knew was manifesting in their bodies and the cause of it.

For example, as a 3-year-old, Izattiu might have walked up to someone and told them of the liver problem they were creating for themselves through whatever physical or mental issues they were dealing -- or not dealing -- with, she said.

But Izattiu, who said she always had a deep connection with the God essence -- the God within -- said her very Catholic grandmother among other family members did not approve of the things she said or did so she stopped using her abilities.

But not completely. Izattiu said as she got older she tapped into them on and off as a teenager and young adult.

Izattiu opened her business, The Spirit Moves Studio, a few months ago at 1017 E.

South Boulder Road, suite H-2, mb-11, in Louisville, but will relaunch it as Shadai Healing Studio in January 2012.

Though her studio is new to East Boulder County, she has been offering her services through her Denver office since 1995.

The intuitive offers a variety of services for adults, children, couples and families. She works with clients who wish to speak with loved ones who have passed away and she also works with clients to open their abilities and to embrace their own purpose in life.

In doing this, Izattiu reads their soul energy level and she helps the client dissolve conscious and unconscious energies they carry that suppress their growth and healing.

"We all have a specific purpose for being here," she said. "I help people to uncover that. I find that's the biggest malady."

She also uses a Chinese form of hands-on healing called Tai Yi to help clients work through physical and mental injuries. She has specific treatments for certain issues, and each are meant to create supreme balance within the body, she said.

But, the healing doesn't happen with just one treatment; Izattiu said her clients need to work on whatever issue they're facing.

"They still need to go and work through that and to open up what might be blocking them," she said.

To further help open up the body and to help her clients find joy, Izattiu also offers "Celebration through Life" dance classes from 7 to 9 p.m. at So Be It Studios, 917 Front St., suite 260, in downtown Louisville.

"The classes are to inspire ones in reawakening the joy of life," she said.

Those who take the class move to the music in whatever way their body takes them and they dance on the studio's wooden floor that resonates with sound.

In January, Izattiu plans to offer new classes in addition to her weekly dance classes.

One topic she would like to discuss in either one-on-one or in small groups is a class about suicide prevention, specifically geared toward parents and youths or teens.

She also has plans for a class geared toward couples to enrich their relationship and a new men's movement class focused on ancient tribal dances. No matter who Izattiu has set out to counsel, the sessions are meant to leave clients filled with inspiration, self-empowerment and confidence.

"It's about creating a powerful and compelling life," she said.

Izattiu also plans to launch her studio's new website, shadaihealingstudio.com, in the new year but more information can be found at thespiritmoves.com, until then. To make an appointment, call 303-744-6934.
